The deception jamming method based on Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) for Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) has been a widely studied topic in recent decades. Typically, jamming signals generated using two-dimensional or three-dimensional false target models can create realistic false targets on the ISAR image. However, existing deception jamming methods cannot eliminate or revise the original echo, which can be retained by multiple anti-jamming methods once the radar judges out receiving the jamming signal. Additionally, these methods require large storage space for the models. Otherwise, the false targets cannot be generated realistically. To address these issues, this paper proposes a jamming signal generation algorithm based on two-dimensional template multiplication modulation and template time delay. The frequency shift and time delay relationship between the signals intercepted by the jammer and the real target echo is analyzed and derived in detail. With the use of these detailed derivations, it is possible to add and remove scatters by precisely locating the false scatter on the real ISAR image. The real target’s shape naturally changes as a result of the addition and removal of scatters. Furthermore, this method can adaptively change the resolution of the false target’s ISAR image with the radar pulse width and the accumulated pulse number. Meanwhile, the false target size on the ISAR image can be adjusted adaptively by altering the false template resolution. These features of the proposed method offer increased flexibility and efficiency for deception jamming. By accurately determining the position of false scatter on the ISAR image, this method offers improved performance compared with the existing techniques. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed deception jamming method.

For radar imaging of multiple targets in radar network, it is necessary to schedule the imaging tasks among various radars at suitable time to achieve high performance under limited radar resources. In this paper, based on the image quality requirement, a task schedule method is proposed for multi-target inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging in radar network. Due to the image resolution is an important indicator of image quality and the imaging task is time sensitive, the relationship between the imaging resolution and task time is studied firstly. Thereafter, the task scheduling problem is converted into an optimization problem with time window constrains and an improved Quantum Genetic Algorithm (IQGA) is proposed to solve the problem. Then the task scheduling strategy which contains how to allocate the targets to the radars and when to observe the targets can be obtained. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. With the help of the propose method, the multi-target ISAR task can be completed effectively and the resource utilization of the radar network can be improved.
